THE RADIO PRIMER
One Daily Foot for Listeners.
Coupling is something that you
hear the radio experts talking about
all1 the time. Let us see Just what
s.
The simplest radio sets have only
one circuit. The radio waves enter
the antenna. pass thence to the crys-
tal detector, from it to the tele-
phones. and then off into the ground.
There are many variations of this.
Some such sets have tubes instead
of crystals. They are all called
"single circuit" sets.
But some radio sets are more
complicated than this. They have
two or three or even four circuits.
in these sets the waves may pass
from the antenna to the ground
without passing at all through either
the detector (whether crystal or
tube) or “through the phones. How.
then. can these sets detect the waves
at all?
That is where the coupling comes
in. Radio waves can pass. of course.
through space. They do not have to
follow along wires. They come into
the set. let us say. from the antenna.

and then off directly to the ground.

Despite Protest of English Surgeon.
Fashion Still Favors the Straight
and Beyish Silhouette.
T realiydoes seem to be hard for
the dressmakers to please the
doctors—at least all the doctors.
Undoubtedly there has from time
to time in the history of feminine
costume been much to bring down
the scorn and condemnation of the
learned profession whose business
is the safeguarding of health. this
hard to oppose the contention that
tightly-laced corsets and tightly-
drawn weistlines are injurious to
health. When fashion prescribes
Kowns that require an enormbus
yardage with consequent weight of
material. or when the clothes in
style give undue constriction or
constraint-then the doctors have
800d excuse for opposing the dress-
makers,
At the time of the French Revolu-
tion the doctors not only preached
vehemently against tight lacing for
women. but warned the men of the
injurious effects of their own tight
clothing. The would~be reformers
of the time proposed a dress forl
women which has been described as
“a melancholy_compromise between
a nightgown and an artist's overall."
Even within our. own -memory
there has been much that it seems
as if doctors and health authorities
might with reason preach against.
Now. on first glance. it would really.-
seem as if we had at last managed
to contrive n fashion that was ati
once smart and chic and I. at the
same time perfectly harmless. But

This new collar of Lanvin's. as
collars go today. is a high collar.
Confldentially. it is the sort of collar
that would have been considered
positively frightful fifteen or twenty
years ago‘. But so many of the
things we consider smart today
would have seemed frightful then.
This new Lanvin collar. as you
can see from the sketch. is low

Candy Made At
Home
A good plan is to have a special
set of cooking dishes for candy mak-
ing. Then if the young and)
makers do not leave them in goon
condition you will not be gresti)
annoyed by it. Two Uns for fudge
should be remembered. A good plan
is to have these square oske tine
instead of the round variety. Then
should be two large stirring spoons
and one or two kettles or stew pans
if you i.ke you may contribute old
things from your kitchen supply fOl
this but new ones can be bought at
small expense.
Molasses Popcorn Bells
Mix together one cup of New
Orleans molasses. half a cup of
water and a cup of light brown
sugar. Boll to the hard-ball stage;
that is. until a bit dropped in cold
water forms a hard mess. Add two
tablespoons of butter and hair to
the crock: until a bit dropped in
cold water crackles and immediately
becomes brittle. Add half a tea-
spoon of soda and pour over freshly
popped corn in a large bowl. Stir
well. Dip the hands into very cold
water and form into balls of any
desired size.
Mint Jelly Bonbons
Cut six medium sized cooking
apples in quarters and cook in two
cups of water till soft. Strain them
through a cloth. There should be
one cup of Juice. Boil this ten
minutes and then add three—quar-
ters of a cup of sugar. Boil five
minutes and then add two table-
spoons of gelatine that has been
soaked in four tablespoons of cold
water till soft. Stir until the gala-
tine is dissolved. remove from the
fire. and add u few drops of oil .f
Poppermint and a little green color-
ing mattcr. Harmless coloring
matters for candy may be bought.
or you may use a little spinnch
water. The fresh leaves of spinach
should be used for this. and a very
little boning water should be
poured on them. and the Juice
should be squeezed out and strained
through a piece of gauze. Pour the
candy mixture in a bread pan and
when it is cool cut it in squs .
These mint bonbons may be- dip
in chocolate if desired.
